What does the action “hold” mean?
Hold status is used in two different situations. The first is when the Committee believes they do not have sufficient information, and they will notify the candidate that they have been placed on “Hold for MCATs” or “Hold for Grades.” In each of these cases, it is important to submit the necessary material as soon as it is available. The second type of “Hold” occurs after an interviewed candidate’s file has been considered by the Committee and ranked. The file is then “on hold” until the next group of offers is sent out. Generally, offers are sent about October 15, December 15, February 1, and then the class is completed by March 15, and all remaining candidates on hold are notified that they are on the alternate list or can no longer be considered.
